The office of sheriff is a critical part of the Anglo-American heritage of law enforcement,â Sessions said.
Yes, critical and of a long tradition
Therein lies Sessionsâ tensions with the president. Given his encouragement of police brutality, Drumpf seems more about importing the old German law enforcement heritage to America.
âThe office of sheriff is a critical part of the Anglo-American heritage of law enforcement,â Sessions said. âWe must never erode this historic office.â
Thatâs a pretty loud whistle.
a racist elf says what???
Here is Ku Klux Keeblers preferred âAnglo-Americanâ law enforcement uniform.
The Klan was well known for its strict enforcement of Anglo-American law. Iâm not sure how Sessions would reconcile this with conservative support of natural law, but cognitive dissonance has never informed the GOP belief system.
Asked to clarify the meaning of Sessionsâ improvisation, Justice Department spokesman Ian Prior told TPM by email: âAnglo-American law is another term for common law â which is the legal system that we use (as opposed to say, Napoleonic Code used in France) and is derived from the system of law that originated in England.â
âThat said, I am confused as to why this is a story that you would need a comment on,â Prior added.
Supporting racism and gas-lighting the reporter at the same time! Someone in the Trump regime who can multi-task. We would be screwed if there was more like him.
Yes, sir. That good old traditional policing. In the tradition of Bull Connors.
That is a member of the Boston Police Department (no sheriff!) in Robert McCloskeyâs Make Way for Ducklings. Still the best guide to Boston, even though the city has changed greatly since 1941, when the book was published.
Thatâs a mighty white comment of yourâs there Atty. General, mighty white.
âSessions Praises Sheriffs For Upholding Anglo-American Heritageâ Of course he does; such are the lenses he looks through. Itâs also why he hates marijuana and sees that as a habit of darker people.
Prior was partially correct, though our modern day âsheriffâ (the office and the word) was derived from the old English âshire reeveâ.
That said, I am confused as to why this is a story that you would need a comment on,â Prior added.That right there is the real problem. That you don't see why this terminology would be problematic, is problematic,.
Loud and clear.
100 million canines across the country just suffered ruptured ear drums.
Seriously
Anglo-American Heritageâ = Kicking Black Ass
WTF? âAnglo-American heritage of law enforcementâ? No, that doesnât mean âcommon lawâ. For Christ sakeâŚcould you try and BE any more racist you twits?
